Funny, I drove that bus a lot during training this past April and May. Safe to assume 2607 will take the MAX scheme as well? Besides 2600 2611 2614, which 2600 buses are out of service?

SilentSpades Posted December 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2019 I'll tell you what, these 2600s get up hospital hill and Main St hill like no ones business. Glad to see these on MAX for sure 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanB_69 Posted December 23, 2019 Report Share Posted December 23, 2019 Couldn't tell which number, but a 47 Broadway bus just destroyed a pickup on 40 Hwy tonight. Tried to get back around for a pic but the road is completely closed off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the hell happened here? Guess S181 is gonzo now. Funny enough, this replaced S133 after it was hijacked and burned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanB_69 Posted December 23, 2019 Report Share Posted December 23, 2019 I believe a dodge ram slammed on their brakes to make a last minute turn in front of cool crest. Bus didn't stand a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentSpades Posted December 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2019 Rear end or TBone? Either way that bus got fudged, glad everyone is okay though. Also, funny thing happened this morning. Main MAX ended up with 2605 2606 2609 3510 and 3511 running it this morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a... forgot what you call it, a supplement order of 4 more, 2 BRTs (3535 and 3536) and the two regular CNGs.

SilentSpades Posted December 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2019 Something I miss seeing RideKC do is decorate the buses for christmas, even putting a fireplace set up in the back of some.

SilentSpades Posted December 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2019 2605 in all it's glory. Notice it has the rollers on the bumper. Also of note 2606 hit Prospect. First diesel to run the Prospect MAX. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilentSpades Posted January 2, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2020 (edited) 4701 involved in an accident, signficant damage reportedly. Update: Tore off many of the side panels. Im not sure how repairable those are, but nothing else besides that. Shouldn't be out of service for too long.

neoartic7101 Posted January 5, 2020 Report Share Posted January 5, 2020 (edited) I didn't know anything about that. I was off. Friday, I worked on my day off had to make up a day and train on the Prospect, which was a piece of cake. Did the Troost MAX later that day, had 2606 but I was swapped out with 4817. 2606 had a bad alternator and I was about to he running on batteries. Tonight I have 4812 on the 31 and a KCFD ambulance backed up into my driver side and put a nice lil dent in my bus at 31st and Prospect.

Lol I don't think so, I thought it was the driver in the chase that did it. But maybe So was there any reprimand or bus swap or did you end up being able to just split after everything was taken care of? Dangerous times for buses in 2020 apparently lol.

They may be old, but man..... they can MOOOOOOVE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentSpades Posted January 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2020 The 2600s and Troost MAX are a match made in heaven. Wish the other MAX buses had that combo in them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, all the hybrids and 3535 have rollers on them, their rear ends were raised 6 inches to accommodate the opening and closing of the rear doors on raised platforms and can be used on the PMAX now.
